Flaisher's solid record

From Sheryl L. Mitchell, West Bloomfield Township:

West Bloomfield residents have been gravely disappointed by local candidates and office-holders who can “talk the talk” but can’t “walk the walk.” The current leadership which wallows in intimidation, bickering, and lawsuits has tarnished the reputation of our community.

A cross-section of individuals — both Democrats and Republicans — have come together to seek a solid solution in filling this leadership void. We recognize that we need competent, professional leadership on our township board. David Flaisher has a solid record which includes: instituting cost containment measures; expanding the police and fire departments; constructing bike paths and a new fire station; and negotiating rate savings on our water bills.

David Flaisher is committed and actively involved in our community, including leadership and active roles with United We Walk, Michigan Week and Friendship Circle.

West Bloomfield residents generously voted to renew and increase our millage for public safety. We need capable and conservative leadership that is committed to balancing the budget and improving services while attracting new businesses and families. We need someone with integrity who values diversity of opinion and is willing to work with others.

David Flaisher is the only candidate that is a proven leader who is capable of building collaborative partnerships. In order for West Bloomfield to move forward in a positive way, we must fill the leadership void. Please join Democrats and Republicans in supporting professional, experienced leadership. FILL IN FLAISHER — an Independent for Supervisor of West Bloomfield Township.

Important note: voters can vote a STRAIGHT PARTY TICKET and FILL IN FLAISHER. This only impacts your choice for township supervisor — all of your other straight party votes still count.
